[toggling between rendered extrusions, and polygons w/ original fills]

I'm rather new to this, so hopefully this a rather basic question (with a rather simple answer). After creating a design in plan view, using fills, patterns, hatches, etc..., how do I then go back to plan view (or top view) after extruding polygons and rendering?

I generally like to start going into 3D after doing some basic plans(so that I can render, and also start to get a sense of space, proportion and material). But when I want to go back to plan view for simple presentations using fills, I can't.

What am I missing? Please help!

[accessing plan view w/ fills after converting all to 3D]

I'm rather new to this, so hopefully this a rather basic question (with a rather simple answer). After creating a design in plan view, using fills, patterns, hatches, etc..., how do I then go back to what is essentially still a plan view of polygons after I have extruded these polygons into 3D?

[Importing DWG Files]

Thanks Peter,

I am going to try messing with it some more. I've been having fun just designing on it.

What is new in the 12.0.1 upgrade? Anything worth while?

[Importing DWG Files]

New to VW v.12. Trying to import DWG file from my civil engineer (a land survey). Image that loads is microscopic. How do I enlarge this to fit in my drawing space, and can I use this as a first layer that I can build upon to do design work?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Look forward to having enough working knowledge to be able to help others.

Thanks
